Seedling Survival

Please choose from the options below

Measures wind speed, temperature, wind chill, relative humidity, heat stress and dewpoint in one pocket sized instrument!
The Kestrel* 3000 is the rugged hand held weather station preferred by foresters. For wildland fire or seedling survival the 3000 offers accuracy to within +/-3% for wind speed and relative humidity. For temperature, wind chill, heat index and dewpoint it is accurate to within 1.8 degree F. All these features plus a 5 year warranty make the 3000 a great choice.

Cover bags or boxes of seedlings in the field or in
transport to reduce heat buildup and stress. Proven successful for over
20 years, using the SilvaCool III* Heat Shield at your planting site or
covering seedlings in transit is another inexpensive way to protect your
trees from heat stress. With the mylar surface down and white vinyl up
to reflect solar exposure, heat buildup or "hot spots" underneath the
tarp are dissipated. Likewise, but in reverse, any cool air that is
present or that remains from cold storage is retained longer.

• Rip stop mylar bonded to white vinyl will last for years without delaminating or tearing under normal conditions.• Comes with sewn in tie down straps.• 4 sizes to choose from.

Introduced back in the 1980's, the commonly called "shade block"
has proven effective additional "insurance" for seedling survival on
harsh sites where intense solar exposure is a concern. Also referred to
as a "wind screen" for it's effectiveness against dessication.
